Lyrics
Verse 1
O chief of cities, Bethlehem, of David's crown the fairest gem,
But more to us than David's name, in you, as man, the Savior came.
Verse 2
Beyond the sun in splendor bright, sbove you stands a wondrous light
Proclaiming from the conscious skies that here, in flesh, the Godhead lies.
Verse 3
The wise men, seeing Him so fair, bow low before Him, and with prayer
Their treasured eastern gifts unfold of incense, myrrh, and royal gold.
Verse 4
The golden tribute owns Him King, but frankincense to God they bring,
And last, prophetic sign, with myrrh, they shadow forth His sepulcher.
Verse 5
O Jesus, whom the Gentiles see, with Father, Spirit, One in Three,
To You, O God, be glory giv'n by saints on earth and saints in Heav'n....
